Re: Clock Resetting when starting car

The battery was bad and it has been replaced but I still have the problem. Any ideas as to which fuse controls the clock?

Re: 97 850 t5 Not starting and flsashers going

Tried to have the battery recharged and it did not after a couple of hours on the charger. Retested battery and found it was bad. Went and bought a new battery and everything is fine now except the clock keeps resetting itself. The funny thing is the battery was new in Feb. Because I bought the batt...

Re: Clock Resetting when starting car

It is a fairly new battery but I cleaned the posts anyway. The owners manual does not list a fuse for the trip computer/clock. Any ideas as to which one it is?

Thanks

Re: 97 850 t5 Not starting and flsashers going

That is where I was leaning towards. The battery is low on juice so I will wait until my other car gets home and try and jump it. One thing that it did do is cause my faulty clock to start working and not resetting itself. I will see if that lasts.

97 850 t5 Not starting and flsashers going

My wife went out to start our 1997 Volvo 850T5 Wagon. It would not crank at all. I came out and the four way flashers were going. The code light on the radio was on as if the battery was unplugged. I tried to jump it from our other car and the starter would not crank. Any ideas?

Thanks

Re: Clock Resetting when starting car

The fuses look fine. The rest of the gauges all work fine. I guess I need to check the connection to the gauge package to determine about the direct link

Clock Resetting when starting car

I have a 1997 850 T Wagon with the trip computer. The clock resets itself every time I start the car. The rest of the trip computer functions work perfectly. Any ideas as to why this happens?

Re: 850 t5 wagon '97 Oil out of cap and dipstick

The Seafoam worked! I poured some in the fuel tank and in the engine. I got smoke out of the tailpipe on a regular basis for a couple of weeks but not now. There is nothing coming out of the dipstick either. I guess it takes a while to work through. Thanks for the help. The mechanic that did the PCV...
